This summer, New York City rock project Hotline TNT released its third studio album, Raspberry Moon, a shoegazy reflection on youth, growth, regret, leaving and being left. This record is HTNT’s first full-band effort, with previous releases written by frontman Will Anderson alone and being recorded and toured with a rotating cast of musicians. Pitchfork calls the result its “most polished and ambitious album yet, wielding a super-sized sound fit for super-sized feelings,” with moods ranging from wistful to humorous. Though Hotline TNT is an out-of-towner, frequenters of the local music scene may remember the group opening for Southern alt-rock band Wednesday at the 40 Watt Club last year. With Hotline TNT headlining this time around, Oakland, CA alternative rock band Sour Widows will open the show.
